For digital input, image setup is not required.
When you first use your monitor, you must perform Auto Setup for analog
input. If you are using digital input, continue with the instructions on page
13. This procedure sets up your monitor to process the video signals from
your computer without image discoloration or smearing. After you perform
Auto Setup, the settings are stored and used each time you turn on the
monitor.
In order to optimize the displayed image a set-up utility is provided on the
IBM Monitor CD. Operation of this utility is dependent on the operating
system on your computer. You may choose to run AUTO SETUP for each
operating system that you use. This means that if you sometimes use your
monitor while running any version of Windows and sometimes also use it
from within DOS (not a DOS window), you must run AUTO SETUP for both
Windows and DOS. You may run versions of AUTO SETUP in any order.
Before you begin AUTO SETUP for your computer, make sure the
computer video mode is set in the range of the supported screen
resolution shown in the table on page 19.
You should perform AUTO SETUP for each screen mode you use.
Image Setup for analog input
Auto Setup
Before carrying out this
section, it is very important
that the correct monitor
drivers have been
installed.(See pages 6 and 8)
i
The Setup Utility included
on the setup CD displays a
test pattern of dots. It does not
replace or modify the display
drivers.
i
The Auto Setup instructions
require the monitor to be
warmed up for 15 minutes.
This is not required for normal
operation.
i
If your computer does not
run with the setup CD
shipped with the monitor, refer
to Manual Setup on page 12.
i
The AUTO SETUP process
only applies to the current
screen mode. When a new
mode is selected, repeat this
section to reset the monitor.

1. Turn on the monitor first; then the computer.
If the message CHECK VIDEO CABLE is displayed, or if nothing is
displayed, check:
• that the video interface cable is not connected properly.
• the correct video adapter card is not installed.
2. Wait approximately 15 minutes, until the monitor warms up.
3. Ensure that the icon bar and tool bar, if displayed are at the bottom of
the screen.
4. Insert the CD labelled ‘IBM Monitor CD’ into the CD drive.
5. Check the operating system installed on your computer and follow the
instructions from the table below.
6. When the test pattern appears, press the Image Setup direct access
button at the bottom of the monitor to run the image setup.
7. To clear the Image Setup test pattern, press the ESC key on your
keybord.
You have completed the monitor setup for Windows. If you use other
operating systems, perform the appropriate AUTO SETUP for those systems
and also see Adjusting the image settings in DOS on page 11.

If the monitor is in standby
mode (STANDBY ON), it
may automatically turn off while
you are waiting for it to warm up.

This section gives advice
on how you can work
comfortably and reduce
fatigue.
Rest
Take regular breaks. Vary your posture, stand up and stretch occasionally
as prolonged use of computer workstations can be tiring.
Back
Sit back in your chair and use the backrest.
Hands
Use a light touch on the keyboard, keeping your hands and fingers relaxed.
Allow a space in front of the keyboard to rest your wrists when not typing.
Consider using a wristpad.
Eyesight
Working with monitors, in common with any prolonged close work, can be
visually demanding. Look away from the screen periodically and have your
eyesight checked regularly.
Screen settings
Set the screen brightness and contrast to a comfortable level. You may
have to adjust these settings as the lighting changes during the day. Many
application programs let you select color combinations which can help you
to view in comfort. See the User controls section on page 15 for more
information.
Working Practices
i
This section gives advice
on what you should
consider before you set up
your monitor.
Workplace Preparation
Height
Position the monitor so that the top of the screen is slightly below your eye
level when you sit at your workstation.
Orientation
- Choose a position that gives the least reflection from lights and windows,
usually at a right angle to any windows.
- Positon the monitor directly in front of you so that you do not have to twist
your body to use it.
- Tilt the monitor to a comfortable viewing angle.
Ergonomic Considerations
14
Be sure to turn off the power before you perform any maintenance on the
monitor. Clean your monitor as follows:
• Gently wipe the covers and the screen with a soft cloth.
• Remove finger marks and grease with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
• Never use flammable cleaning materials to clean your IBM monitor or
any other electrical apparatus.
Caring for your Monitor

The LCD monitor needs
time to become thermally
stable the first time you turn it
on each day. Thus, to achieve
more accurate adjustments for
parameters, allow the LCD
monitor to warm up (be On) for
at least 15 minutes before
making any screen adjustment.

If your computer has
previously been used with
a CRT monitor and is currently
configured to a display mode
outside the range that the Flat
Panel monitor can display, you
may need to re-attach the CRT
monitor temporarily until you
have reconfigured the
computer, preferably to 1024 x
768 at 60Hz.
The display mode the monitor uses is controlled by the computer. Therefore,
you should refer to your computer documentation for details on how to
change display modes.
The image size, position and shape may change when the display mode
changes. This is normal and the image can be readjusted using AUTO SETUP
and the monitor controls.
Unlike CRT monitors, which require a high refresh rate to minimize flicker,
TFT technology is inherently flicker-free. If possible, configure your computer
for 1024 x 768 addressability at 60Hz vertical refresh rate.
For the display modes listed below, the screen image has been optimized
during manufacture.

To benefit from power management, the monitor must be used in
conjunction with a computer that implements the Video Electronics
Standards Association (VESA) Display Power Management Signaling
(DPMS) Standard.
The power management feature is invoked when the computer recognizes
that you have not used your mouse or keyboard for a user-definable period.
There are several states as described in the table below.
As an ENERGY STAR 2000®Partner, IBM has determined that this product
meets the ENERGY STAR 2000®guidelines for energy efficiency.
IBM recommends that you switch off your monitor at the end of each
working day, or whenever you expect to leave it unused for long periods
during the day.
